MOSAIC GROUT STORAGE/ORGANIZATION

If you enjoy mosaics like I do – chances are you may have
several bags of different colored grout lying around.Last year, I organized my mosaic supplies in
the garage and put my grout bags in a large plastic tub.Before putting them away, I took snack size
ziplocs and poured a few spoon-fulls of grout into each bag and labeled them
with a letter.Then I wrote the same
letter on the corresponding bag where the grout came from.All these went into a larger ziploc bag.

Now when I’m deciding on grout for my project
– I just pull out my packet of ziploc bags and compare colors against my
project.Once I make a decision on a
color, it’s as easy as pulling out the
bag by letter.I found this is much
better than digging through heavy bags of grout in my garage and guessing whether
that was the color I wanted.
